Brake - Disabling Parking Brake
The park/emergency brakes apply to the drive axle only. The brakes can be manually released if the air
system will not build suffi cient air pressure to release them. This emergency procedure is to be used by trained
technicians or towing personnel to move the motorhome to a safe location or repair facility.
WARNING:
Only trained personnel should perform this procedure.
Drum Brakes:
• Place wheel chocks fi rmly against the wheel before performing this procedure.
• Remove the plug from the center of rear brake chamber on the drive axle.
• Remove the caging tool from its holder on the brake chamber and insert the tool into
hole. Turn clockwise to engage.
• Screw nut and washer onto caging tool. Use a wrench to tighten the nut, compressing
the internal spring to release the brake.
• Repeat procedure for the other side.
• After towing, or when air pressure is again available, loosen the nut and remove the
tool. Return the caging tool to its original location and replace the plug.
• Repeat for the other side.
WARNING:
Failure to securely chock the wheels can result in the motorhome rolling when the spring
brakes are released. Severe injury or death can occur.
